Kleptomania

Kleptomania is an irresistable urge to steal items of value. People with this mental disorder are naturally compelled to steal things. But these people steal objects that have limited or no vaule such as pens, pencils, paper clips, and tape.  Some kleptomanincas are not aware that they committed theft. People with this mental disorder are most likely to be paranoid. Kleptomania can occur after a traumatic accident or brain surgery.
